I have come to  love Wednesdays!  We don't usually have any "outside" stuff to do on Wednesdays until the evening service at church, so we are able to spend the day focusing on our school work, have something good for dinner, then head off to church.

Yesterday in Alex's AWANA group, they gave bonus "bucks" ( AWANA money to spend in the Awana store) to the child who could say the most verses, and Alex won!!  I knew that she knew lots of verses, but I was surprised that she was bold enough to say them in the group!  Alex is usually my "shy" child, or at least she used to be! She was VERY proud of her accomplishment, and so am I!!  Rachel is in a different group in AWANA, and she tells me that her group is having "see who can say the most verses" next week.  I LOVE what AWANA is doing for all 3 of my kids!  Not only are they learning to hide the word of God in their hearts, but Alex, much to her own surprise, has made GREAT strides in reading since she started the AWANA program!  How's that for a cool "side" benefit?!

So, each Wednesday evening, we leave the kids in the gym for AWANA, then Roger, who works with the teens at our church, goes to the Youth service, and I go to the adult Bible study.  Since AWANA starts at 6:30 and the Bible Study doesn't start until 7, I usually have a chance to fellowship with others who come to the study, including my parents, sister, and aunt, and some good friends.  It's just always so peaceful!

In our former church, the most popular 'feature" of the church was our Wednesday night Bible Study.  Last night, my Dad led the Bible study at our current church because our pastor is on a mission trip in Nicaragua.  It was like old times!  And, EVERYONE seemed to enjoy it, not just the "Cornerstone alumni". :)   The pastor has asked that Dad lead the study again next week, so I am looking forward to that.

And now, you know why I love Wednesdays! LOL

Oh, just one more thing, then I promise to hush, but I have to brag on Roger and his softball team~they won their final game tonight by a score of 15 to 2, thus securing themselves first place in the church softball league, and a very large trophy to present to our pastor when he returns  from Nicaragua!!  Way to go "Anchormen"!!

Blessings,
